Do you know the stats for the number of refugees in the world?
Do you know the number of refugees in countries?
Do you know what fraction of refugees we took in the UK?
All here if you want to take a look
This is how many came in the boats (apart from Albania at about 12,000)
Afghanistan - 8429
Then In third was Iran (5,450), followed by Iraq (4,041) and Syria (2,596)
Sudan - 1712
Egypt - 1230
India - 1321
Turkey - 1189
Vietnam - 489
Ethiopia - 453
Meanwhile:
108,000,000 people who are displaced at the moment.
6.5 million Syrian refugees
5.7 million Afghan refugees
5.7 million Ukrainian refugees
Iran itself has 2.6 million Afghan refugees.
And in Africa
Countries in sub-Saharan Africa hosted 1 in 5 of all refugees globally. A total of 7 million refugees remained displaced at the end of 2022, a slight
increase from the previous year.
The East and Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes region hosted
4.7 million refugees, primarily in Uganda (1.5 million), Sudan (1.1 million) and Ethiopia (879,600), which is consistent with the previous year.
West and Central African countries hosted 1.6 million refugees at the end of 2022, 5 per cent more than the previous year.
Almost 85 per cent of all refugees in the region resided in Chad (592,800),
Cameroon (473,900) and Niger (255,300).
Countries in Southern Africa continued to host slightly more than three-quarters of a million refugees (773,000), with most residing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (520,500).
Does that put things in some perspective for you?
